Numerous unearthed cultural relics prove that our ancestors lived and multiplied in this land for 654.38+ten thousand years, creating a splendid human civilization.
From distant ancient times to Qin Shihuang's unification of the whole country, many clan kingdoms and vassal States were established in Anqing today. There is no unified administrative region. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Western Zhou Dynasty was a flat royal family, which was divided into Wan Ren State, Zongzi State and Tongzi State.
An ancient country, in today's Qianshan County, Yan surname, after Hao Tao. "Integration of Ancient and Modern Books" Volume 86: "Wanbo, Shi Yiqi's. So it is called Chow Tai Fook. " "Chow Tai Fook was born in Anhui, and the name of Anhui began." "Both the land and the mountains are famous doctors, which have been passed down to future generations." Anhui means beautiful and beautiful. The ancient kingdom of Anhui was highly civilized at that time, and became a big country in Jiangbei area, maintaining friendly relations with the central dynasty. West Zhou Wuwang designated it as the Earl's Country. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the northern part of Chu made Anhui a vassal state. Later, in the struggle of Wu Chu, Anhui often rebelled against Chu and attached itself to other countries, so Chu made an excuse to destroy it and built Anhui into a city and returned it to Chu.
From then on, it was derived that "the mountain is called Anhui Mountain and the water is called Anhui Water"; Anhui Mountain, also known as Wangong Mountain, is called Buried Hill because of its "hidden mountain", and its main peak is called Tianzhu Mountain. The source of Anhui flows out of Dabie Mountain; There are three tributaries in the upper reaches, namely the Long River, the Diving River and the Anhui River, which converge from the western suburbs of Anqing. There is a famous market town called Wankou (now known as Yamaguchi). The place to govern Anhui is called Wancheng (now Meicheng, Qianshan County). Later generations used to call the Yangtze River waters around Anqing the name of "Wanjiang", and collectively called Anqing the land of "eight Anhui". This is the historical origin of Anhui Province after the Qing Dynasty.
Today, Zongyang, an ancient country and viscount, is also a surname Yan, which is closely related to the Shu Qun tribe that is pregnant with a race. The capital is in today's Zongyang Town. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was still the motherland. After Chu went north, it became a vassal of Chu. In the spring of the 12th year of Duke Wen of Lu (6 15), many people rose up against Chu. Summer, for Chu, ghost town. During the Warring States period, it still belonged to the State of Chu.
This ancient country, Yan surname, is located in the northern part of Tongcheng today, which is closely related to Shu Qun. During the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a vassal of Wu, Yue and Chu, and these southern powers competed for hegemony in the north. In the summer of the twelfth year of the Zhou Dynasty (508 BC), Tongzi rose up against Chu, was destroyed by Chu, and became the city of Chu. During the Warring States period, it belonged to the State of Chu.
There is also a Shu kingdom, which spans Lujiang and Tongcheng today and will be located in Chengchi Township, Lujiang County today. This country is scattered. There are Shu Liao, Shu Yong, Qiu Shu, Shu Long, Bao Shu, Gong Shu and other tribes, all living in the same foreign country, collectively known as "Shu Qun". In the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was destroyed by the State of Chu. Shu became Yi Shu (county) and was later ruled by Lujiang County. The county seat is still in Chengchi Village, Chengchi Township, 40 miles southwest of Lujiang County. These four countries were sometimes United and sometimes merged until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, when they were destroyed by the Chu State which rose in Jianghan Plain.
After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he abolished the enfeoffment system and set up a county system instead. During the Qin Dynasty, there were roughly seven counties in Anhui, namely Jiangdong County, Dasong County, Dang County, Surabaya County, Chenjun County, Huiji County and Jiujiang County. Jiujiang county has a large area, covering 10 counties, where Shouchun ruled. At that time, several ancient countries in Anqing city were eliminated, and small cities were disintegrated, and there was no county, but the vast area belonged to Jiujiang County. When Chu and Han contended, this land belonged to Hengshan Kingdom. The Western Han Dynasty belonged to Huainan Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom, Songzihou Kingdom and Lujiang County of Yangzhou respectively. Among them, Anhui County and Shu Xian County in Lujiang County were established in the Qin Dynasty, and the post-Songzi Kingdom was sealed in the last four years of the Han Dynasty (184 years ago), and Xiantianpu is now Liangting Town in susong county. In the last year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (365,438+03), Anhui County was abolished, and in the Yixi period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (405-465,438+08), Jinxi County and Huaining County were located in the former site of Anhui County, forming a system of co-governance of buried hill counties in Anhui Province.
During the Liu and Song Dynasties, Jinxi County belonged to Nanyuzhou, Linghuaining, Xinye, Zuoxian County of Taihu Lake and Yinan County established by overseas Chinese. At the beginning of Sui Dynasty, Jin was changed to Yuzhou, Jinzhou, Jiangzhou in Northern Qi Dynasty, Jinzhou and Xizhou in Chen Dynasty. In 607, the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty was renamed Tongan County, and Huaining County was established as Qianshan County. Tongan county leads Huaining, Tongan, Taihu, Susong and Wangjiang counties.
In the fourth year of Tang Wude (62 1), the name of Tongan County was changed to Zhou Shu; In the ninth year of Wude, it was changed to Dongan Prefecture, and soon changed to Zhou Shu; In the first year of Tianbao (742), it was changed to Tongan County; In the second year of Zhide (757), it was changed to Tangsheng County; Gan Yuan changed its name to Zhou Shu in 759. Although it changed its name, its governing office and the systems of Huaining, Tongcheng, Taihu, Susong and Wangjiang in leading counties have not changed. By the Tang Dynasty, five of the eight counties in Anqing had been officially named, which laid the regional foundation of the eight counties in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, it belonged to Tongan County, Zhou Shu. In the fifth year of Zheng He (115), Zhou Shude Qing Army was established, and in the seventeenth year of Southern Song Dynasty (1 147), it was changed to Zhou Shuan Qing Army. In the first year of Qingyuan (1 195), Anqing House was built, and five counties under Zhou Shu's jurisdiction were established, namely Huaining, Tongcheng, Taihu Lake, Susong and Wangjiang. The government is surrounded by Huaining County, the old city of Anhui. After Yicheng was ruled in the first year of Ding Jing (1260), Huaining still moved to the attached county. In the 14th year of Yuan Dynasty (1277), Anqing House was changed to Anqing Road, and the above five counties were also taken over. In the third year of Zhi Zhi (1323), Qianshan county was set up in two townships, Xiqing and Zhao Yu, west of Huaining, which governed the former site of Wancheng. Anqing Road leads the county to 6 counties, which is the original organizational system of "Anqing Six Cities". The Ming and Qing dynasties established the government system, and Anqing government led six counties until the demise of the Qing Dynasty. Even in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936)65438+ October, Yuexi county was designated as the boundary of Taihu Lake, Buried Hill, Shucheng and Huoshan, and in the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949) in February, Tonglu county was designated as the boundary of Tongcheng and Lujiang (later renamed as Zongyang), which basically changed the six cities in ancient Anqing.
